If as described in TFA it would involve even more than that. IBM is touting the built-in scaling and load balancing capabilities of their platform. On any other platform that would be handled at the OS and/or application level, so you'd have to strip out all that architecture from the existing codebase and re-implement IBM's way. Just not a thing worth doing in most cases.

You can't lift and shift workloads from VMWare (or any hypervisor) to an IBM platform in any similar way that you could from VMWare to, say, Hyper-V or ProxMox. The IBM move would require significant re-engineering at the application level. Not an apples-to-apples comparison at all, and moving to the IBM platform would just make you beholden to IBM instead of Broadcom. No point.

It's not going anywhere. Unions can bargain all they want over this issue, and they may even have a valid societal value in doing so. But unless they can show that it will cost Google more in legal fees than it will in lost revenue or lack of willing employees, the only real option the employees will have is to quit in protest.

Comment Copyright issue? (Score 1) 87

Wouldn't this make it difficult (Copyright office review) to impossible to Copyright any code committed with this message? AI authored content can't be copyrighted (unless the CR office deems enough human intervention was included,) so any protections would be void for that commit, regardless of license applied? This seems problematic.

Comment Lots of consternation here... (Score 2) 167

Lots of folks here upset about Musk vs Altman or whoever, rich vs poor, all that.

Is nobody bothered that the CEO of a non-profit, who has invested none of their own money, has equity is said non-profit that is supposedly valued at $30B? Seems that speaks to what Musk is claiming as much as anything. I personally don't care if Musk gets anything out of this lawsuit, but his point about keeping Non-profits from being gamed seems valid.

Per Gemini, there are about 35-40 commercial flights between LAX and SFO per day, with an average capacity of 150 passengers. Suppose we're generous and estimate that three additional airports in the SF and LA areas have similar traffic, so ~160 flights per day on that route with an average of 150 passengers per flight. That's 25000 total passengers per day on that route. That's not enough to pay the interest on the bonds sold to build the rail.

I'm fairly certain Google Maps also lists busy times for specific locations, at least it does for restaurants and stores.

This is all very on-brand from Florida, a place where according to Republican logic, this is not supposed to happen because open carry should've brought all those supposed "good guys with a gun" out of the woodwork. Gee, I can't possibly imagine why more guns isn't making us safer. /s

There is no concealed carry allowance/license in any State that I'm aware of that makes it legal to carry everywhere. Surely you've seen those "No Guns Allowed" window stickers at businesses and public buildings. Most States prohibit concealed carry anywhere that sells alcohol, so a lot of restaurants are off limits. Fact is, most places where these mass shootings occur are "gun free" zones either by statute or private property preference.

The idea that "carry" laws mean that people can be armed everywhere and therefore are a one-stop solution for mass shootings is ridiculous. One cannot use "carry" law's existence as either a gotcha for "concealed carry laws don't work," nor for "more gun restrictions are good," because neither is accurate.
